Newspaper Page Text’W' mm ‘ERROR CEASES TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN REASON IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT IT ”-Jefferson. VOLUME XXII ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1870, NUMBER 49 Dfrhlq intelligencer ATLANTA GEORGIA- Wednesday. Cecember >4, >870. ** Wira and Bomora of Wen " Have come to us lrom acro»s the waters, and onr sympathies have been aroused, and anxious hopes for the success ot the French arms have been heartily Indulged. First, we were elated that the French hsd try- umpbed in a grest battle, and the <■ pinion was rife that Napoleon woo'd bring b-.rk the scenes and masterly manoeuvres of his great ancestor, and the Frencu would easily crush, as of yore, the pride of the Dutchman. Then came a change. The French were de feated, and kept going downward until we had lost all hopes for them. With characteristic energy they arouse themselves, however, and now their banners lead once more to victory and giory. From tbe news that comes to us they are getting tbe best ol it, and are ab:e now to meet the loe with numbers nearer an equal. Had Napoleon not been so brash to embark in the war, and took a little more pain- in pre paration, he could have bad an army able to face the toe, and not been overwhelmed by sneb odds. As it was, be let the Prussians beat him, and have as large an armv as they c< old raise, and come against the French largely superior in numerical strength He has fallen now and marked his destiny with an indiscretion unbecoming the name and one of such political talents. Tbe French do better, a good deal, without him, and our hopes are once more excited that they will yet succeed. Although versatile and quarnlsome the Freuob may be, they are yet a brave and luhliigent people, and should have their independence. Their best blood has been spilt in trying to gain a Republican form of government, ad the while, streneously opposed by the selfish Crowned Heads of Europe, and lor long years they have straggled bravely, indomitably in vain, bo en- thneiastic to proclaim their rights, and quick to strike for their liberties, among those jealous ot their prosperity, their history is marked with bloodshed and wars from ages back. Let Ibem succeed and their rich country bloom with peace and prosperity. Wb mmrEH the lollowing from the New Tork ledger: “The faith that can remove mountains.” An old lady was one night reading that pass age in the Bible which speaks ot the isith that can remove mountains. Now there was behind her humble dwelling a high bill which hid the nearest village from her view. She bad olten wished that this hill might be taken away, s< > before retiring ahe piayed that it might be re moved, because sbe bad Isith that it would be done. But in the morning when she arose she lifted the curtain, and lo! the mountain was ■till there. Then the old lady said to her son, “Just as I expected, John; tbe old hill stands there yet.” That-old lady was a little too iite ral. This old lady’s faith we have no doubt was not well fouuded. She, like many others, un dertook to accomplish too much—mere than was ever intended lor her to do. Thi vote polled in the Municipal election yesterday was large, all seeming to take a lively Interest in the issues and measures left to their decision. Aroused to a determination to suc ceed, the Democrats of Atlanta have acted worthy to themselves, and returned a handsome majority over the Republican. They have discretely chosen their interests as a genera) thing, and have conducted themselves admirably, strictly refraining from foolish quar rels, showing up by their harmony and good will the virtue of the party. Tbe reenlte of tbe election, in the several Wards,are as follows: TOUT WARD—FOR MAYOR. Alexander *00 Hammoad..., US ALDEHMBN. Cats'n 070 Welle 08* Rsnshenberg 4*8 Unities 481 SECOND WARD - FOB MAYOR.

Tn election passed off very quietly Wednes day with the exception of a disturbance in the Gth Ward, caused by the arrest ot a disorderly colored man A policeman knocked him down in arresting him, and the other negroes tork his part. Later in the evening the negroes attempt ed to release the prisoner from the guard house notwithstanding the efforts ot Messrs Gartrell and t inch to dissuade them trom their purpose by speaking to them. They attacked the police with sticks and bricks, bat being fired upon dis poned with a few wounded, and we coaid not learn bow many killed—supposed to be one or two. Some little casualties to the pclice in tbe shape of a brickbat bruise or a stick stroke— none hurt very materially. Serene.—The city is, as usual, cairn and se rene since the election. No other belligerent demonstration has occurred since the “ skrim- mage” at the station house, and all signs ot tbe * late little unpleasantness” have entirely disap peared. The unfortunates who sustained inju ries trom pistol shots, brick-bats, etonea. Cubs. Ac., are all at home nursing their wounds, and, probably, revenge. “Let us have-peacel” Ready.—Tbe Police station has been supplied with, guns, ammunition, Ac., and other moni tions of war—minus the big guns—to guard against another attack of a frenzied mob. Freed- men, repair to your business, and do not go about such a place any more—some ge tomans’ digger git shot. The Great Confederate Captain. From ihe t.'iLcir.imU Commercial, j After the battle ol Malvern Hill bad ceased, and McClellan had lett t he ground ot his gallant deiense lor Harrison’s Landing, one of the Con tciurate division commanders, who had not been lonunate in Lis management ol the attack, and was not aware that McClellan had gone, galloped up to General Lee and exclaimed with considerable vehemence: “It you will permit me, sir, I will charge that hill wi'h my whole torce, and carry it at tbe point oi the bayoret ” “No doubt you could now succeed,*' was the quiet reply; “ out I have ore serious objection to your making the attack at this time.” “ May I ask what that objection is?” was tbe eager queition oi tbe ardent soldier, who saw honor and glory before him in ihe present opportunity “ I am siraid, sir,” said the Commander-in- Cbict, with a mischievous twinkle ot the eye which all around enjoyed greatly, *■ that you woU'd hurt my little lr.end, Captain The enemy lett about an hour ago, and the Captain is over there woh a recounoitering party.” Wnile in winter qnaitera at Petersburg, a party ot officers were one night busib encaged iu discussing, at the same lime, a maibeaiaiica! probum and the contents ot a stone jug wbicb was garnished by two tin cups. In tde midst ot this General Lee came in to make some in quiry. He got the information be wante^gave a solution ol lbe problem, and went oui, the officers expressing lo each * ther the hope 'hat me General bad not noticed ihe jug and cups. The next day one oi me officers, in tbe pres ence oi ihe others, was relating to General Lee Estrange ..leitn be bad tbe night bclore. Tbe Gmcial lis'emd with apparent interest to the nairativ, and quietly rejoined : “That is noi a' all remarkable. VVlieu young centlemcn dis cuss at uiidniirbt mathematical problems, the unknown quantities o' which are a sione jug and two tin cups, they may expect to have strange dreams.” One day at Petersburg. General Lee, who never sufiered a cay to pass without visiting some part of his lines, rode by the quarters ol one ot his Major Generals and reqaested him lo ride with bun to inspect the lines. As they were going, be asked General if a certain work, which be bad ordered to be pushed, was completed. He replied, with some hesitation, that it was, and General Lee then proposed that they should go and see it. Arriving at tbe spot, it was tound that little or no progress bad been made on tbe work since they were tbeie a week belore, and General was proluse in his apologies, saying that he had not seen tbe work since they were there belore, but that he bad ordered it to be completed at ouce, and that Major had intormed mm that it had already been completed. General Lee said nothing then, except to remark quietly, “ Ve must give our atteniiou to the lines .” But, riding on a little further, he began to compliment General on ihe splendid charger he rode. “Yes, sir,” said General , “ he is a splendid animal, and I prize him the more highly because ne belongs to my wile, and is her lavorite riding horse ” “A magnificent horse,” rejoined General Lee, “ but I should not ibinK him safe for MrB. to ride He is entirely too spirited lor a lady, and I would urge you by all means to take some ot the mettle out ot him belore you sufiur Mrs to ride him again. And by the way, Gen eral, I would suggest to you that these rough paths along these trenches would be very ad mirable ground over which to tame him.” The tace ol the gallant soldier turned crimson; he felt most keenly the rebuke, and never after ward reported the condition of his lines upon iulormaiion received trom Major or any one else. His spirited charger left the tflecl of thin bin*, trom headquarters. One ol tbe proiessors in the college was one day making a very earnest speech at a meeting ot the acuity on the best means of securing a lull atleudance of the students at the chapel service. Ii so happened that this excellent gentleman (as wed as some other members of the faculty), was not in tbe habit of attending chapel himself. When he had finished his speech, President Lee quickly said : “Une ol the best ways that I know of to in duce the students to attend ch ipd is to be sure that we attend ourselves.” And accordingly his seat was never vacant unless he was kept away by absence trom borne or sickness. The General used to enjoy very much a quiet joke at the expense ol some overconfi-aent student. The writer heard him oue day intro duce a new student to one ol the professors by saying, with a quiet smile: “This young gentleman is going to graduate in one session.” “No, General,” replied the youth, “you mis understood me; 1 did not say that I would graduate in one, but in t wo sessions ” 'Ah, he has concluded to postpone it for a session. Well, sir, I wish you the full realiza tion of your hopes; Out I must tell you that you will have no time to play.” On the 6th ot May, 1864, at a most critical juncture tor the Coniederale arms, Gen Lee met Gregg’s Texas brigade going into the battle of the Wnderness. They greeted him with most enthusiastic cheers as they hurried on to the tront but were soon horrified to find that ibe>r beloved Cammander-in-Chief was go ng with them into the thickest ot the fight. The men began to shout, “Gen. Lee to the rear! Gen. Lee to the rear 1” A ragged veteran step ped from the ranks and seized his reins, and at last the wbole brigade halted aud exclaimed with one voice, “We will not advance unless Gee. Lee goes back; but it be will cot expose him-eli we will drive back the tnemy.” Thus appealed lo, Gen. Lee halted aud gazed after these brave, Ti xans as they nooly redeemed their promise though at a learlul cost. On the 10th of May, wheu the Confederate lme was broken at Spousv.vauia Couit House, General Lee again < tiered to lead ihe charge, this lime placing himself in trout ot Gordon’s division of Virginians and Georgians, and just by the colors ot the 49ih Vlrginia regiment He uttered no word—he was not the man tor theatrical displays—but quietly took ofi bis bat, as the regiment was forming, with the evident purpose ot leading the charge. A murmur rau down the line, and just then the gallant Go; don sparred his horse to his side, seized the reiu ot his horse, and exclaimed, with deep anxieiy, “ General Lee, this is no place for you; do go to the rear. These are Virginians and Georgi ans, sir—men who have never failed. And they will not now. Will you, men? Is it ne cessary tor General Lee to lead this charge ?” Load cries ot “No! no! General Lee to ihe rearl General Lee lo the rearl We always try to do what General Gordon telle us; and we will drive them back if Genera! Lee wilt <>nl> go to the rear,” burst from the ranks. The General’s horse was led to the rear. “ Fowar.t I charge 1 and remember yt.ur promise to Gen. Lee,” rung out in Gordon’s well known voice, and tfiose gallant fellows swept everything be fore them and re-established the Confederate line. A similar incident occurred on the 12th ot May, in tront ot the “ bloody aDgle,” w ben General Lee was only prevented from leading Harris’ Mississippi brigade into the thickest oi that terrible fight by the positive refusal ot the men to go torward unless their beloved chief tain would go to the rear. Shortly after this be received an afli cling letter from Mr. Davis, begging him, iu the name ot the Confederate army and people, not to expose his valuable life so freely. Official Vote of the City—The Board of Canvassers, having periormed tbeir duty, give us the official returns of the vote at the late elec tion. The report gives Hoffman for Governor 86,633 votes, Woodford 34.391, which, with over a thousand scattering ballots, shows a total for Governor of 122,084 For Mayor, Hall received 71,037 and Ltd with 46,392. Tue total vote for the office of Mayor was 119,418. Matthew T. Biennan polled 79 177 votes lor Sheriff and Charles E Loew 78 872 for County Clerk. The action ot the Board ot Canvassers has settled the tact of a majority for the democrats in the next Assembly. The Commit ee on Protests having reported in favor ot the election ot Mr. Carey for the Seventh Assembly district the Board accepted the report and declared Mr. Ca rey duly elected. This breaks the tie in the lower house, bat it will not spoil the tun which may be expected at the approaching session. Tammany has things now her own way; so we may look for Mr. Httchman as next Speaker, and, as succession in office is recognized in the highest officer, Cornelius Armstrong wUl.proba bly fill his* last yearis post at the Clerk’s desk. A*All-events there will be lively times in the Legislature ot 1871.—HT herald. A private dispatch from Jackson, Mississip pi, to the Appeal, sayaAhe telegram from Wash ington stating that Yerger, who killed Colonel Crane, had been sentenced to imprisonment for life, is untrue. Yerger’s trial does not take place till January. Jb£f3Rson, Texas.—A recent letter from Eastern Texas thus refers to the city of Jeffer son, situated on Red river, in Henderson county: A tew daya since, 1 took a trip to the thriving city of Jefferson. There is more busiress done here than a' anyplace in Northeast Texas. The navigation from Ne.w Orleans to this point is good now, and boats are coming and going all the time. Tbe city is improving very much, and there is more building going on than I have seen at any place since the war closed. The population ot tins place, according to the last census, is fifteen thousand. There is a great opening here for bricky makers, brick masons, carpenters, and for laborers ot all kinds. The coniractors for grading the streets are offering £3 25 per day for laborers, and good board can be obtained at $4 per week. There is bat one difficulty about Jefferson, and that is, that it Is said to be a very sickly place daring the sum mer months; bat notwithstanding this draw- tack, it continues to increase in population every year. .

Among the reported speeches at the Radical meeting held at Forsyth, Monroe county, on last Saturday, to nominate candidates for the Legislature and county officers, as published in the Monroe Advertiser, we find that of James L. Dunning, ot Atlanta, and hare concluded to transfer it to the columns of the Intelligencer, that our readers may see and cor rider for them selves. George Cl^wer, tbe champion statesman, in troduced tbe Lextspeaker, in this style: “I am happy to introduce to you J. L. DUNNING. of Atlanta, the smartest mn in the State ” Dunning—“Oh, not no!” George-“I take it back; I take it back.” And Dunning at once struck (be Radical trail, a^d opened as lollow* I am a stranger among y< -u, but I have resided one quarter century in Atlan'a My purpos- here is to deal justly and fairly with all I am a party man but will not indulge in mfcrepre - sentatious—by such a course nothing would be gained. I am here to note events and enunciate political principles. The year brings its changes and necessities. YoV Leretofore unknown citi zens, a: e cailed upon to exac, ne and exercise your rights. By act of go .eminent you have been made citizens. B true to your Republican* friends. Take sides wu>. them. Let not hot purtizin wariare deter you trom exercising the rigt t of the ball't. For all you are and b&ve, you are indebted to the Republican party. Your children "re now tree. Let me see, not fiv yea's aeo the negro was considered proper >.y, subiect io barter and sate—now yon have rights atd privileges I wish to God I could talk to the mothers outside! What a thought—the sum nder ot Lee I to simply yield the contest, and let all be free—490,000- human souls! Think of the anguish ot mothers—one child here aad one there, and all unclothed and pen niless ! They came from slavery crying* * Which way shall I seek my child—how, where, whither shall I seek my darling child ?’ The natural aud moral decree of civilization is that slavery shall never again exist Ultimately tbe arm ot civilization will extend to Cuba—tbe present war between tbe crowned heads of Europe is oue ot the resuits of this grand object. Why do the Democrats ask us to have all night in stead of perpetual uay ? The Republican party is the party of human progress. Through inght, the old line Whius joined the Democrats. They have do business in Democratic ranks. The old Clay Whigs and the Republicans would make a formidable party on all national questions. Dem ocrats are opposed to free schools—the W bigs are not. I voted against Henry Clay, bat, God permitting, I will never vote the Democratic ticket again. “The children of the State shall receive equal benefits. Tax* s paid by property holders must pav the schooling. I am willing to pay my pro rata tor this purpose. In this effort lor schools, we must not wait until all are ready. Cyrus W. Field, ot ocean telegraph fame, did not wait and listen to discouragement. The Democrats will: never be ready to give you your right. We must go ahead and appropriate opportunities, and re sults will naturally follow our efforts.” In an illustration loreign to this proposition, he carried the negroes through the territories in every direction, and gave them a ride on the Pa cific Railroad. Returning, he told abont Mr. Stephens’ letter and said that a lormer slave owner on reading tbe address called one of bis serva'1 3 and re marked, “Here, Bob, go bring my oorae here. Wait a minnte, let me read a little mrther; yes, I am going to get them all back. Bring out my horse—I want to go over and see the Jones! place. I want both plantatations.” This he impressed on the negroes -was the feeling ot all Democrais. In discussing the provisions of the homestead act, he remarked npon the broad acres that are lviDg in waste;_rii^-jtbat Democrats withhold blesrings intended tor all, bat assured hts mends that time will bring about the results aimed at by the Republican party—the party that grants that every man is entitled to equal rights, with out regard to race or previous condii ion. Id canclusion, he hoped he had not given ex-j pression to anything calculated to wound the sensibilities ot political friends or toes. NEWS BT TELEGRAPH. Washington, December 6.—Admiral Porter has written to Grant in explanation of his letter to Welles. Porter’s first impulse was to deny the authenricity of the letter. Neither the Ad miral nor his secretary con’d recall to their izing the Cincinnati and Southern Railroad to g x . Petersburg, Decemne. 8 —The general build bridges over navigable streams upon plans I tenor of Russian notes to other powers ia that approved bv the Secretary ot War, and abol ishing the Freedmen’s B^r^au. Resolutions cubing tor information regarding the seizure of fishing vessels were adopted. A resoultion declaring a’iy attempt to possess recollection any circnmstance of the kind The , the Bay of Samana, by any European power, Trouble in the Express Car.—We learn that, yesterday morning, a hive full ot the fa mous Italian be*-a imported by Mr, George Si Ruble, of Cha.uiuooga, was shipped by express from that city to a gentleman in Grainger co.un4 ty. As soon as the train lett tbe city, tbe men turn of tue train beiDg novel to the bees, tbia having been their first trip on a railroad, a few; ol ihe “ bosses” were sent out oi the hive hi inquire ot the messenger “ why this was thus,” and, as he says, annoyed him exceedingly by their pertinacity, “going for him” pretty lively, as bis answers did not seem to give them satis faction. Now, it an express company contracts to take a parcel to a given point, i. is, no doubt, right i bat it should do so stall hazards. But although “ business is business,” the messenger was ol the opinion that bees’ nests were also bees’ nes's, and it the bees were to be taken as passengers in his car. they should themselves conform to the usual rules, which they not seem ing inclined to do, he decided t • pat them off the train as scon as it airiv« d at Cleveland. 1% carrying out his intention, ue was attacked by several ot the malcontent*, and had to drop the hive on the pl.ittorm at the station, 'f his broke it open, and in a moment tbe released inmates rushed into the passenger coaches in a swarm, and employed the shifting moments in making it red hot tor the passengers. Handkerchief, ghawIs, bats, coat-tails, &e, flapped in all di rections and it is even vaguely hinted that there was some tall s»caring done just about thai time.—Knoxville Press. Butleb Pilloried —There is probably no example in history ot anything so unprincipled and netarious as the project here deliberately advanced as a desirable policy lor adoption by the people and Government of the United Stales. It is not tenable or defensible upon any principle ot international law or equity, and it seriously adopted it would render onr country the brigand ot nations. It is just here the dan ger comes in. Corporations are said to have no souls. But in modern times it appears that parties have no principles. There is just a pos sibility that under the presence of party neces sity, and as a means ot gratifying individual ambition and rapacity, the views of General Butler may shape the policy oi the administra tion for the next two yean. There ia bitter shame and humiliation in the thought. The mere announcement in foreign nations ot the promulgation of each sentiments by a politician of General Butler’s reputation and aspirations will inflict more real danger to our country than was sustained from the Anglo-Confederate cruisers.—K. T. Economist. A Two-Hkadkd and Four-Legged Wo man.—Thera was on exhibition at the Fair Grounds in Columbus, Ga, a most wonderihl freak of nature. It consis's, says the Sun of that city, ot a negro girl, or as some would say, a pair ot girls, aged eighteen years. The per son or 'persons have two perfectly developed bodies down tc the waist, where the two spines and bodies become blended into one solid body. On each body are two perfect arms and hands, ot which each nas fall and natural use. She has loor perfectly tormed and well developed legs and feet, on which she moves actively She can waltz and dance a quadrille. She was born a slave, the property ot Mrs. Smith in Columbas, Robeson county. North Carolina, who tenderly cared for and raised and educated her.' She ia intelligent, and can and does hold converse with two persons at the same time. Sbe is cheerful, and most devotedly attached to Mrs. Smith. What is singular, though she appean from the color of he skin to be of pore negro blood, she has straight black hair. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Is call ed upon to decide, if a man, who gains a wife by falsely representing himself to be rich.shall be divorced, the wite claiming that a marriage contract through such false pretensions is null snd void. Of course tbe divorce cannot be granted, because, as in esse ot false pretences to obtain money, it was the lady’s duty to aacer tain, before parting with herself, that the repre sentations were correctly founded.

In other words, it must now be decided whether there is public spirit enough in the trade to ignore antagonistic individual interests for the purpose of securiug a greater good through united and harmonious actios. No question can be more important in the issues its solution involves than this, and we trust that it will be so answered by the Rich mond Convention as to place the tobacco trade on firmer and more independent footing than it has ever occupied before.—N. 7.
